We should be proud that we are Filipinos for it is only us who can make this nation great again.. but are we up to it? This is originally a book idea which I thought of writing but for now we are putting it as a blog where you can post or send your sentiments about being a Filipino.. happiness, triumphs and frustrations. All are invited to become contributor to this blog.

Thanks for confirming your attendance on Facebook! So that we can put you on our guest list, please reply to this message or send an e-mail to wedeservebetter.ph@gmail.com with your name, organization/designation, cellphone number and e-mail address. (It'll save the Talakayan Team the trouble of stalking you individually trying to find that information.)

*****SPECIAL INVITATION TO BLOGGERS*****

Bloggers get in for free! There will be a special area for bloggers and free internet access will be provided so that you can update your Twitter, Plurk, Facebook, WordPress, Blogspot or whatever blogs/social networks you're currently using. Let your followers know what you think of the discussion as it's happening! A screen dedicated to live Twitter updates will be flashed during the event.

*****CALL FOR QUESTIONS*****

Got a question on the economy for the candidates? Send them to wedeservebetter.ph@gmail.com! We will try to accommodate as many questions as we can during the forum. If your question doesn't get asked, it will still be included in the compilation of all questions that we will send to the candidates (even the ones who won't be able to attend the forum) and we will also post it on our website. If you'd like to be acknowledged, please indicate your name, the organization you represent (if any) and your location.

*****MEDIA UPDATE*****

If you can't join us at AIM on August 6, you can still catch the forum on GMA 7, Radio Veritas and via web streaming on philstar.com. If you can't catch it live, you'll be able to watch videos of the forum on Philstar.com, PoliticalArena.com and the MGG website. We will send details on where and how you can tune into Talakayan regardless of where you are in the Philippines or in the world!

*****HELP US SPREAD THE WORD*****

Please encourage other concerned citizens to attend this forum. It's a great opportunity to learn more about economic issues and to find out what our candidates have to say about them. Below are some link you can use to promote the event via e-mail or on your blogs and social networks:
